The seemingly never-ending justice roller coaster for Brendan Dassey just keeps going and going. After his successful appeal was overturned by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals en banc, a petition was filed with SCOTUS to challenge the circuit's decision.

Recently, it was announced that Dassey's legal team has retained noted litigators who have made several appearances before SCOTUS -- though interestingly, the specific attorneys were neither noted nor named. Dassey's attorney, Steven Drizin, did note though that the High Court has warned that appearing before it without a "seasoned" litigator was akin to malpractice.

If your law firm isn't on Yelp, you might be missing out on some of that sweet sweet Yelper business. Also, whether or not you want to be there, a client, or potential client, or adversary, can put you on there in order to leave their feedback, so not being on there means you can't do anything to manage your Yelp reputation.

Interestingly, to get an idea of what sort of reviews Yelpers leave, taking a look at the United States Supreme Court's 4.5 star Yelp rating is both fun and informative. Below, you can see snippets of some our favorite SCOTUS Yelp reviews.

With the High Court packed with a conservative majority, one major source is predicting that three longstanding precedents may not have long for this world. Those three include:

After Chief Justice Roberts decided recently to not send a man who could no longer remember his crime to the execution chamber in Alabama, court pundits took it as a sign that the Chief Justice could be switching teams. The other conservative justices would've let the old-timer die. Although, most liberal pundits have been cautious about putting too much stock in the Justice Roberts statistics showing the Justice may have spontaneously grown a liberal conscious.

Justice Alito, who presides over matters coming out of the Third Circuit, has rejected the appeal of Pennsylvania's GOP leaders over the state's High Court ruling requiring the overly Republican-friendly voting map be redrawn.

Challengers asserted that the court did not have the authority to redraw voting districts, but that only state legislatures could do so. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court disagreed with that position and denied the existence of a federal question, and the now U.S. Supreme Court refused to get involved, leaving the challengers with little else to do.
